Here here!
Happy Fathers Day to all of you dads who take the time to support and care for and comfort your kids. To all of you who play catch with your sons in the back yard and tea party with your daughters. To all of you who play catch with your daughters and tea party with your sons. To all of you who leave work early to go to a concert of third graders playing plastic flutes badly, who go to a baseball game after a ten hour day instead of stopping by a bar on the way home. To all of you who read the bedtime stories, and who stay up all night when the little ones have a fever. To all of you who stay up late the first time your daughter goes out on a date by herself, and every time afterwards. To all of you whose ex-wives keep your kids from you, but never miss a child support payment. To all of you who call your adult children once a week just to say Hi. And especially to all of you fathers who accept it when your kids are different and support and love them anyway, thank you and have a good, happy Father's day.
